The Moral Inference Engine (MIE) Specification defines an open, modular framework for building AI systems capable of analyzing the moral dimensions of written passages, narratives, historical texts, legal documents, and philosophical works. Released under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later (AGPL-3.0+), the specification provides implementation guidance for generating multiple moral interpretations, ranking candidate interpretations with confidence scores, producing transparent explanations, and detecting ambiguity. Rather than attempting to determine a single moral truth, the system is designed to preserve interpretive diversity by examining passages through multiple analytical modes, including literal reading, contextual/historical analysis, and universal ethical abstraction.
The specification establishes requirements for explainable moral reasoning, human oversight, auditability, and self-hosted deployment. It provides architectural guidance for interpretation generation, confidence evaluation, explanation creation, ethical framework plugins, review workflows, and transparency controls. The Moral Inference Engine can serve as a foundation for educational platforms, research systems, AI governance tools, knowledge analysis applications, and organizations seeking a transparent method for exploring ethical concepts while maintaining accountability, uncertainty awareness, and human-centered review.
This specification is released under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later (AGPL-3.0+) and may be used freely with required attribution. Attribution-free deployments require a Specification Branding License, with fees based on usage, scope, and deployment size.
